Using a microwave oven, you can not only quickly heat up food, but also cook something very quickly.
But, unfortunately, not all foods can be heated in a microwave oven.
Eggs
Eggs are an ingredient in many different dishes. However, it is worth knowing that eggs cannot be cooked in a microwave oven.
This is because the sudden rise in temperature in the egg will cause steam to form and pressure to increase. This is why the egg may explode when the shell is removed.
Frozen meat
Some housewives, in order to save time, defrost meat directly in the microwave. You shouldn't do this for several reasons.
The meat will not have time to completely thaw. Only the outer layer will defrost, and the meat inside will be frozen.
Also, when defrosting meat in a microwave oven, the number of bacteria contained in the product increases several times. Because of this, the risk of food poisoning increases.
Potato
Potatoes should not be heated in the microwave either. The fact is that the vegetable contains starch. The latter can be hydrolyzed under the influence of microwaves.
Due to this reaction, the number of necessary vitamins and nutrients is significantly reduced.
In addition, after microwave cooking, potatoes release a lot of harmful substances, which put a lot of strain on the digestive system.
Sausages
Often, in order to save time and not have to cook food for a long time, many people buy sausages, heat them in the microwave and eat them with a light side dish.
In fact, you shouldn't heat processed meats.
When the temperature increases, cholesterol in sausages oxidizes. This releases many substances harmful to humans.
Milk and milk-based formulas
Considering that the heat radiation will be distributed unevenly, the milk mixture may heat up in parts.
The hottest part can burn the child. Also, after conducting experiments, it was found that when heated in a microwave, the immunostimulating protein is destroyed. That is, the benefit from such milk will be minimal.
